Warm Arugula Salad with Quinoa & Goat Cheese

quinoa salad

Ingredients:
1/2 cup white quinoa
1 cup water
3 cups arugula
1 oz goat cheese, crumbled
1/2 of a lemon, juiced
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a small sauce pan. Cover and reduce to low. Let simmer for 10 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Keep covered for another 3 minutes, then fluff with a fork and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add the arugula to the bowl with the hot quinoa and stir until the greens have wilted a bit. Squeeze the lemon juice over the salad and mix together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the salads to two bowls and top with crumbled goat cheese bits.
Serve immediately.
